(July 26th)

What happens when Jameson gets hold of the camera?

At least one picture is of Drew.

We took the boys to the aquarium out in Sandy. Grandma even came along for the ride. I can’t believe she was able to lift these boys up to see things. They’re pretty heavy boys.

I think there was a turtle in here the boys loved watching, and cute Jenna in her stroller.

The penguin exhibit was the biggest hit. They had pictures of penguins on the wall of the different types. The boys wouldn’t stand next to them, they stood in front of them. Each picking their own penguins.

Row row row your boat…

There was a touching pool, but all the stingrays were at the bottom. To touch would have meant some very wet boys. They did like to see the fish up close and personal, though.

The boys tried to find all 6 seahorses. I think they actually did.

The biggest, grossest lobster ever

Even Ella and Jenna enjoyed the fish.

In the Utah section of the aquarium, the boys enjoyed riding this frog.

The aquarium was a nice size. It had enough to keep the kids interested, but not too big that they would get tired and want to leave before seeing anything. After, we headed to McDonalds to let the kids burn off the last of their energy before heading home. The parking lot was full, so we had to park in another area of the shopping center parking lot. This meant we had to walk across a street, but not a real street. It was a street between the gas station and McDonalds, but still within the complex parking lot. I’m not sure what to call it. So Christina told the boys to hold hands while we cross the street. As we were getting the babies out, the boys grabbed hands and headed to the main road (which is super busy), hop the curb and are standing on the sidewalk. I start yelling at them to come back, and Christina can’t figure out what they are doing. Well to a 4, 2, and 1 year old, the street didn’t mean the little drive between the gas station and the food. It meant the big street. Christina started asking Kayden where he was going, and I had to remind her she told them to hold hands to cross the street. So once the boys were out of danger’s way, we explained what street we were talking about, and escorted them to the food.

Man, you have to be careful how you describe things to these little boys.

P.S. Christina and Steve took their kids to temple square with my camera. So here is you picture of your visit.
